You might know her from Videoclub, but solo she tastes even better or ay least just as good and a bit more mature.

Adèle Castillon - Rêve

Sweet lord, something in that song reminds me of this one, or is it just because I bout this little piece of vinyl in Paris?

Tali - Airport Lounge (Freestylers Remix)

I listened to this one because I knew the ladies that did the feat. but who the plop is Polachek? Well she did some cool stuff as Ramona Lisa, ring no bell? Well just enjoy the ride and Google her.

Caroline Polachek - Fly To You (feat. Grimes and Dido)

Okay I love to make impossible mixes that still feel right, because in what dimension would the next song be Tokio Hotel in English it sounded like this.
Do you remember those sweet Emo boys? They're still here and did a sneaky good cover of a classic, but where is that cute little singer guy....? Is that serious what´s left of him???

Tokio Hotel x VIZE - Behind Blue Eyes

Everyone knows Tove Lo, and if you think no I don´t, just click here, and think again. These guys have some great tunes that got a lot less attention, so I thought to give this one some Love, it won't kill me...right?

Tove Lo - No One Dies From Love

Yes Mom, that is him the boy you adored growing up, said Billie Eilish never. So many Billies out there nowadays and that is not always a bad thing

Tessa Violet - Yes Mom

But I enjoy it darker and dirtier so Pardon my French on this next one but damn what a cool track. Oohlala Billie suck on this!

Gabi Sklar - Pardon My French


It can be that this next girl sounds a little familiar, on the other hand, all French songs sound the same....Voila. Nah just kidding, Barbara has a very unique sound, un grand plaisir, if you ask me.

Barbara Pravi - Lève-toi


Now my French might be rusty, but these beastly good babes are from Paris and this... putain, c'est génial!

L.E.J - SEINE SAINT-DENIS STYLE (NTM & Grand Corps Malade Cover)

Encore

I Know Schrei & Scream was not their biggest hit, I am sure you all know this one....so just to end with a bang and some good old memories.

The hints:
The Old Hint from this week´s Tune Tune Train:

  • It´s the same musical hint as last time with the same meaning to make it really easy!

Then I left plenty of hints in the comments:

So I am not gonna say more as I said it already!

What the fluff is midnight gems?

Somewhere lost in time, trying to escape out of the rabbit hole back into the rat race there is a vacuum..... that´s the place where midnight gems are found.

My Midnight Gems will try to uncover & recover those beautiful songs that nobody ever noticed or might have been forgotten.

Who the fluff am I?

Being a former DJ playing about everything and having an uncompleted study of radio journalism. I have been wanting to do this for years...Thought about it many nights and guess now it´s time to finally take it to the streets.

Hope you enjoyed this well-known wave of fantastic music and that you still feel like joining me on the next Midnight Gems Session coming soon.

Very weird video by Tove Lo. Loved her breakout hit though. I also had to do a double take, you included a song from the same Tokio Hotel with their "smash hit" Durch den Monsoon. He looks weird as hell.

I checked if he had some drug problems, but nothing serious came up. I kinda liked that breakthrough album but I did enjoy that remix encore as well, I tried the new electro stuff but....moahh not really unique...not bad but a it generic except for the looks

I may not find the answer to the riddle but God help me I love the song, Shivers. The first time I stumbled on it, I played it for one week straight.. leaving it on repeat. Had nothing to do with the lyrics because I wasn't paying attention. It was the rhythm, instrument, and the fact that I tapped my feet and shook my body and head at every interval... Lol

Great picks for today's Midnight gems.

Well I love that story, and the riddle will unfold next week anyway but a memory to a song like that is precious, Ed has a magical touch and I have the two beautiful memories with two of his songs ( Perfect. and Castle on the Hill) maybe I should write a post about those memories one day.

Thanks for a lovely comment!

I love his Joker and the Queen song more than Perfect.

Yeah, maybe you should write that post.
